I like this a lot better than BRTC protect mutiplex. It has higher SPF and smells wonderfully of jasmine without being overpowering and can act as a sunscreen, foundation and makeup base.

Colour: 2.5/5

It is better shade than Protect multiplex; more yellowish beige. However, it is still too light and a little pink for me to be an exact match. Still, the colour blends more easier into my skin tone and it is less obvious that I’ve applied foundation.

Flash photography: Like Protect multiplex, it has a weird ghostly effect, especially for close-ups. I think it is because of the pink undertones; not yellow enough for my skin colour.

Application/ Texture: 3/5

This is more fluid than Protect multiplex, but it is still a rather thick cream. Application goes on easier when I use a facial spray beforehand.

Coverage: 3/5

Similar to Protect multiplex, it is medium coverage. It does not totally conceal my acne scars or dark circles but my skin does look smoother and my pores less obvious.

Oil-control: 3.5/5

I find that it has about the same oil control as Protect multiplex: moderate oil control, about 4-5 hours for me. I get more of a glowy look when I do, inevitably, oil up.

Overall: 3.5/5

I may purchase Jasmin Water eventually but the high cost (SGD49 at Guardian) is making me hesitant. It is better than liquid foundations as it has more skincare properties and can multitask as sunscreen, makeup base and foundation. Moreover, the colour and texture are more suitable for me than Protect mutiplex. BRTC is one of the higher-end brands for BB cream and that is swaying me to buy this BB cream. Perhaps I’ll take that leap when it goes on sale and use it for the casual days like school when I don’t have the time or energy to prep myself before going out.
